Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Aaron

Help Aaron regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Arlington
Aaron has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Aaron can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair. The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two. The ramp has to meet the accessibility guideline for gradient, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Aaron's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

            Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Oakland.

              Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.

                Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

                    Hope it all works out, Wendy. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Syracuse donated after I showed her your page. All the best!

                      So sorry you're going through this, Wendy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Jakarta but we're thinking of you
